Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomWould have loved a bathtub in the bathroom. Definitely enough space for it. Also rooms look very dated and furniture could do with an upgrade. Didn't really affect us as only staying one night but would have bothered me if I was staying longer.
Lovely large clean room. Spacious for a family of four. Friendly staff who made us feel very welcome

Breakfast was ok, some things, like croissants and scrambled eggs, missed out. Location was good, ten minutes with the bus to the lovely city center, which is a must to visit.

NetherlandsI felt the beds could have been a bit better. And also the flush in the bathrooms could be nicer as well.
The location of the house was amazing, just a bus ride away from the Oxford city centre. The rooms were quite nice. However, I felt the beds could have been a bit better. The breakfast was also nice, the serving lady took into our considerations and allergies.

United KingdomI arrived around 6pm, so it was dark, and not knowing the exact location, I drove by it twice. But sat nav kept telling me I’d arrived!!😅 The sign was not clear to see. I’d been informed it was a first come, first served basis with on-site parking, and managed to park up ok. I’m unsure if the heating switched off at all, but it got too warm early hours, and the bed was up against the radiator and I didn’t know how to turn it off. Was up early hours needing to open the window, but discovered it wouldn’t stay ajar; it opened wide of its own accord. This made me nervous as the window led directly on to a flat part of a roof, possibly making it accessible from outside, which looked out onto large gardens and trees. TBH - the view from my window was beautiful, but not at 2-3am! And arriving in the dark, I had no idea what the outside of the property looked like from the back garden, or what, if anything, made it accessible to non-residents?
Mark the Manager was absolutely lovely, sociable, professional and friendly. Helped carry my case up and show me my room and pointed things out that I may need to know. As I left to go to my social event, Mark held the front door open for me and wished me a lovely evening. As I already had breakfast plans, I couldn’t take advantage of my continental breakfast, which Mark said, of course I’d have to visit again!… I assured him I would. ☺️ Lovely customer service, but a ground floor room would have been better accessible for me. But it was a flying visit and the cost with booking.com was better, so I was fine with the 1 night stay.

MalaysiaParking lot line not visible. Hence my car was parked just like the next car, different direction. Then whole family woke up from the knock at the door in the middle of the night to move the car just to accomodate more cars to come, which in the next morning i found out no further more cars that came. Blinds at window need changing, not closing. Kettle is moldy.
Good location. Lovely lady in the morning making us breakfast early despite not the time to serve brekkie. Appreciate that a lot.
